I finished my novel, and everyone I've talked to says I need an agent. How do I find one?
Answer
Try and find a list of agents who write in your genre. Check out their websites! Find out if they are accepting new clients. If they aren't, then check out another agent. But if they are, try sending them a few chapters from your story, a brief, and a short cover letter asking them to represent you.
In the cover letter mention your previous publication credits. If sent via post, then I suggest you give them a means of reply, whether it be an email or a stamped, addressed envelope.
Agents will try their best to improve your chances of getting a book published.
